"Eclipse"
Part 1: Chapters 1-10
I was so excited to get the 3rd book in the series as the second one was such a great read, that I couldn't put it down!! "Eclipse" has been the same, but in all honesty I think that it has been a little slower than the first two. Which I kind of expected from what I had talked to people about it.

It started as it's a couple of weeks before graduation and although Bella has decided to transform to save herself and her father from the Volutri, Edward as remembered in the last book proposed but she never really said yes or no. Now she is trying to juggle her relationship with the love of her life, Edward and her best friend, Jacob. Which is very difficult when they are mortal enemies, and would kill each other at any infraction. What is interesting is that the closer it gets to graduation, the more she seems to want to make amends with Jacob so that when she does change and leaves for good, she had her peace.

What I find interesting is now, who is after her ransacking her bedroom and why didn't Alice see them? Do they have powers or is it just as she suspected she is being asked to watch to many things at once and things are getting lost in the shuffle? Will she keep the Porsche, it seems Edward has forgiven her and is starting to realize that he can't completely control Bella. What was really strange to me is that Quil found his mate that is 2 years old, and I understand the concept of him protecting her until she is old enough to be with Quil but it still seemed a little creepy to me and Bella. I am also given the assumption that Jacob feels Bella is his soul mate too, which brings up another question of how can she be a soul mate for two mortal enemies?

How can she choose between the love of her life and her best friend? It'll be interesting to see how this turns out and if she becomes the vampire or stays mortal always watching her back, her back from the Volutri and Victoria....which Victoria has not been found yet, how long will it take and will the Cullen's find her or the Werewolf pack?

So much to wonder!!!

Happy Reading!!!

THis book has been a little slower, but it is just as good. I do not think that Jacobs feels Bella is his sould mate, I think he just wishes that she were. I think Bella is helpful to both sides even though they are enemies. DO you think that she will eventually help them all to get along and become friends? I like how Rosalie seems to be coming to accept Bella and that she explained why she did not like her.

Who came into Bella's house and why did they steal her clothes and pillow? Is it the Voultri or Victoria or someone completely new. Maybe it is whoever is reaking havoc on Seattle.
